I wrestled with the question of whether to purchase an Apple Watch for almost three years. To clarify, I hesitated for three reasons. First, I had abandoned watches after smartphones introduced Airplane Mode, which made it possible to keep the phone on during a flight. Second, I questioned the wisdom of paying more than $300 for a watch. Third, I honestly did not see that much value in the features of the early models of the Apple Watch.

Traveling solo can be scary, especially the first time. However, as I grow older, I find that I really enjoy my company. There is something empowering about traveling solo; the more I do, the more I recapture a childlike wonder.

Like many American Airlines frequent fliers, I received an email from the airline containing high-level stats of my travel during 2018. I don’t recall receiving a customized statement like it in the past; I think this is a first for AA, and I like it.

The restaurant at Palais de Fes Dar Tazi was recommended to us by Mohsin, a friend and a colleague, who visited Fes a year ago. We went for dinner after a long daytrip and we were not disappointed; awesome food and super friendly staff.
